To all whom, may concern.- v Be itknown that we, CHARLES LAURENCE BURDIOK, artist, a citizen-of the United States,

residingatNo. 4 Eastern road, Wood Green, in

.5 the'county of Middlesex, England, and HENRY PERVILHAC, manufacturer; a-citizen of the French Republic, residing at No. Chemin.

'de la Dona, Villeurbanne, in the Department of Rhone, France, have invented new and use- I ful Improvements in Processes of Stenciling,

it has been usual to print, by'mea'ns of blocks or rollers, a stopping-out material or mediumv "according to pattern over such parts of the fabric as is desired should be left plain or which have been previously decorated or which 2 5 are to be decorated with another color.

Stencil-workas heretofore done has been a simple process of coloring by projecting or spraying color through the apertures inthe -stencil, and that method limits the possible de- 3 signs to such patterns as can be pierced or cut in the form of openings in the stencil, for it has been heretofore impossible to produce a. stencil with a design not joined or, connected in some manner with the main portion of the stencil-plate (which imposes restrictions as to the work, thus limiting the designs jtoa narrow field) unless'wires or wire-gauze were employed, and the isolated design or designs were then suspended by wires or laid on the 4 wire-gauze and fixed thereto; but this. inter feres with the quality of the work produced. Figure 1 of the drawings represents a class of design which it was not possible to produce hitherto except by using. wire-gauze or the like. Fig. 2 shows the kind of stencil which was used to produce as nearly as might be suc'h'a design. -Fig. -3 shows part of a stencil adapted to stop out part of -a similar'design When'made according to this process.

Patent No. 757,438, dated April 19, 1 904.

Serial m.'112,671. (Ndapeoimena) on the color over 'the-stopping-out medium applied previously, and Fig. 5 represents the pattern "on the material before the out'material has-been removed.

Assume, for example, it is desired to produce a pattern such as is shown in Fig. 1, which particular pattern is only shown as an example because of its simplicity. Usually' in trying to produce a pattern ofthis: kind the stencil-maker produces astencilas shown in Fig. 2, of which the middle vpart wis connecting parts 0 c. That, however,-does-.not produce the pattern desired. Now according to this invention a stencil, and preferably an endless revolving stencil, is employed, and "stopping-out material-orjmedium is thrown onto the fabric or other material to be decorated, so as to cover a number of small circles or other designs, as shown in Fig. 3, by means of brushes or spraying apparatus or otherwise, such spraying apparatus being of th kind used to project color'i'n the form. of

fine spray onto paper fabrics, or other obiects, while the stencil is perforated with the out. When the fabric or other material is covered as far as is desired with the stoppingout medium and the latter has been dried, if necessary,- the fabric is decorated or printed by means, for example, of spraying apparastance, in Fig. 4;, withlarger or differentlyor coloring or that stage thereof has been out medium is removed by soaking or washing in some kind of fluid or liquid-such as benzene, for example-which has the effect of removing the said stopping-out medium and leaving the pattern, as shown, for example,in

ping-out medium may be variously composed, and a suitable medium consists of resin, parraflin, beeswax,an'd turpentine, which form a sort of cement or mastic, which latter does not permit the color topenetrate tothe ma- ,terial or fabric, but is easily removable when 4 illustrates the stencil for use when putting nected to the body part b of the stencilv by con-.-

designs or patterns which it is desired to stop completed, as shown, in Fig. 5, the stoppingstoppingtus by employing a stencil, as shown, for. in-

shaped apertures, and when the decoration Fig. 1, as was originally intended. The stop- I the'material has been subsequently colored by washing .with or dipping the same into a out medium is then lime, zinc, and bisulfite of soda. The deco ration may thenunder some circumstances be complete or the material'may be further decorated on only those parts where the stopping-out medium had been or otherwise.

By this invention designs of various kinds may be produced very cheaply and rapidly because neither rollers nor blocks will be required. The necessary endless stencils are produced much more cheaply than are rollers or blocks, and the amount of manual labor is also considerably reduced. Besides this, an unlimited number. of effects in design may be obtained and it is possible to leave the groundwork or other parts of the original color or to mask a part of the design previously sprayed in colors. 1

What we claim as our invention, and'desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A process of stenciling consisting in first applying stopping-out medium through the apertures of a stencil to parts not intended to receive color and then applying color through the apertures of a second stencil, substantially as set forth.

2. A process of stenciling consisting in first applying stopping-out medium through the apertures of an endless revolving stencil to parts not intended to receive color and then applying color through theapertures of a second'endless revolving stencil.

3. A process of stenciling consisting in first spraying stopping-out medium throughthe apertures of a stencil to parts not intended to receive color and then spraying color through the apertures of a second stencil, substantially as set forth.

. 4. .A process of stenciling consisting in first applying a stopping-out medium, composed of paraifin, beeswax and turpentine, through the apertures of a stencil to parts not intended to receive color, then applying color over and [around the said medium through the apertures of a second stencil and finally removing the said medium and the superimposed color by means of a suitable agent, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names tothis specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
